Mozilla Shows Support for Mobile Operating System

Trying to grab a spot as the third major mobile operating system is a daunting task. Mozilla is attempting that feat with an unconventional playbook, and appears to be winning over some supporters.

At the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona Sunday, the non-profit maker of the popular Firefox browser provided an update on how its previously announced software plans are being accepted by mobile carriers, handset makers and other partners that have plans to use Firefox OS in some fashion.

The list includes handset makers Alcatel One Touch, LG, ZTE and Huawei.
